Riot Act

Forever doesn't mean forever anymore
 I said forever
 But it doesn't look like I'm gonna be around much anymore
 When the heat gets subtropical, and the talk gets so topical
 Riot act
 You can read me the riot act
 You can make me a matter of fact or a villain in a million
 A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
 Why do you talk such stupid nonsense
 When my mind could rest much easier?
 Instead of all this dumb, dumb insolence
 I would be happy with amnesia
 They say, "Forget her"
 Now it looks like you're either gonna be before me or against me
 I got your letter
 Let's just say that I don't care for the color that it paints me
 Tryna be so bad is bad enough
 Don't make me laugh by talking tough
 Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
 When your remarks are off the cuff
 Riot act
 You can read me the riot act
 You can make me a matter of fact or a villain in a million
 A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
 Riot act
 You can read me the riot act
 You can make me
 Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 Riot act
 You can read me the riot act
 You can make me
